I might get murdered for what I have to say in the following lines.....but I have immense faith in the freedom of expression and the right to "just be"....my blog even goes by the name Lais.sez-faire.
Wondering how to start the rambling....wars, disasters, natural and human, terrorism, any kind of mass destruction apparently cause nothing but misfortune, loss of life, and generations of hatred.
Now imagine a world where there haven't occurred the world wars, or any war for that matter, everybody is kind, and love is all around. The word 'PEACE' would not have been coined then I suppose, I believe. When everything is perfect, who strives for improvement, who bothers with 'betterment'. Utopia is fiction, but the mirage keeps us going from day to day.
I am beating around the bush I realize, let me come to my point....in my opinion selfishness, hatred, violence, and everything abominable is necessary for human existence, so that there can co-exist a possibility to rise in us, selflessness, love, peace, and everything beautiful a human being is capable of experiencing, everything great that a human being is capable of being. If there were no wars, would we be having heroes to worship? If there was no greed would there be millions of non-buddhist people pledging support for Dalai Lama from every corner of the world? If Jalianwalabagh never happened, would there be a Gandhi born? If Hitler became an artist and not a Fuhrer, would the Berlin wall be ever built and pulled down? If Somalia was not what it is, would there be volunteers for the peace corps? I can go on and on citing examples to support my weird stream of thoughts. But that's not important, I have no point to prove, it's just a thought, like the optimists say...to choose to see the glass half full. We fall, we rise, we fall again to rise again. For the best to surface, delving into the abysmal depth of worst is necessary.
It is very easy I realize to come up with such idealistic theories with a stomach full of goodies and wine quenched thirst. But that shouldn't stop me from being a neurotic and think the weirdest of thoughts! Everytime I get to hear something terrible happening, this is the thought that whirls in my system, this is the excuse I come up with for mankind in general. So thought of writing it down and get it done and over with! A concluding quote by Rabindranath Tagore "Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man."
About Me
- Rituparna
- I started writing on an impulse, as my very first post indicates. It was mostly, as an effort to understand myself better. I have graduated from that phase, lately. These days the endeavor is mostly creative. I indulge myself in poetry writing:)! More than often, love pervaded,thus a tad bit embarrassing at times. But how can I help it, being an incurable romantic at heart. Life and literature is meaningless to me, sans romance. I am still extremely self conscious about this, and only very recently have started sharing this link with the world. Inspite of this awkward shyness, like any writer, I too have a strong urge to be read. What can be a better platform than this....thus...I continue writing so! A few lines about the title of my blog...Lais.sez-faire...I don't know french. I came across this phrase in wikipedia....somehow, one day...the very essence of freedom, surrounding this particular phrase appealed to me, though technically it indicates higher forms of political, social and economic ideology. Why should I bother about such lofty, obtuse concepts, I am just an aspiring poet, and absolutely refuse to look beyond the beauty of this phrase!
